Logan O’Hoppe hits first homer of spring training in Angels’ victory

February 27, 2026

THE GAME: Logan O’Hoppe’s first home run of spring training put the Angels on top in the fourth inning and they held on to beat the Cincinnati Reds, 4-3, on Friday in Goodyear, Ariz.

PITCHING REPORT: Left-hander Brent Suter gave up one run in two innings. Suter, who spent the past two years with the Reds, got out of a bases-loaded jam with minimal damage in the first. He faced the minimum three hitters in the second, thanks to a double play. Suter is a reliever, but he got the start because the Angels have a hole in their rotation while Yusei Kikuchi is at the World Baseball Classic. … Right-hander Walbert Ureña faced the minimum six hitters in two innings, with one strikeout. He allowed two infield singles and got two double plays. Ureña’s fastball averaged 99 mph and hit 100 mph. He needed just 18 pitches. … Right-hander Ryan Zeferjahn gave up one run in his inning. … Left-hander Samy Natera Jr. pitched a perfect inning. It was the first appearance of the spring for Natera, who was behind the other pitchers because of visa problems. Natera will be pitching for Mexico in the WBC. … Right-hander José Fermin pitched a perfect inning

HITTING REPORT: O’Hoppe hit a two-run homer to put the Angels ahead 2-1 in the fourth. O’Hoppe also hit a hard line drive to right field and drew a walk. O’Hoppe even stole a base when he ran on a 3-and-2 pitch and the catcher made a bad throw. He is 3 for 9 with five RBIs this spring. “Logan at the plate was awesome,” Manager Kurt Suzuki said. “Logan behind the plate was really awesome. He’s been working really hard, man. The guy has put in a lot of work and it’s nice for him to have some results.” … Nolan Schanuel doubled into the left-center field gap, on a ball with an exit velocity of 105 mph. It was the first extra-base hit of the spring for Schanuel, who is 2 for 10. … Oswald Peraza drove in a run with a double. … Christian Moore singled. Moore, who is fighting for the starting second base job, is 3 for 10 with five strikeouts. … Bryce Teodosio reached on a bunt single on his first attempt of the spring. Teodosio has vowed to make bunting for hits a bigger part of his game. … Denzer Guzman drove in a run with a double into the left field corner.

DEFENSE REPORT: Shortstop Vaughn Grissom misplayed a routine grounder up the middle, but it was ruled a hit. An inning later, Moore couldn’t come up with a bouncer as he went to his right. Both plays were ruled hits. Both times the Angels erased the miscues by turning a double play on the next hitter. … First baseman Jeimar Candelario caught a foul pop-up as he ran into the netting. … Peraza, the third baseman, made a lunging grab of a line drive headed down the line.
